Would it be possible to allow users to message "Everyone" in the drop-down menu if the GNU social is running a private instance? Currently, this option doesn't appear when running a private instance.

The everyone in that drop-down menu, maps in a way to https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public . Which doesnt't make sense to have in private instances. What is wanted is [Everyone at site](https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/src/nightly/lib/ui/toselector.php#L125). A fix is coming by @someonewithpc!
